When I committed the port (textproc/freegrep), Jamie assured me that
he'd keep me updated on the progress of his software. That was the last
I heard of it, and the port is still sitting at version 0.3 .

Version 0.3 broke port-building badly. Does version 0.7 make it through
a build of a whole stack of ports?

Ciao,
Sheldon.
